Every year, teachers might be my most requested gift guide. As parents, I know we’re always so grateful to them, but it can be tough to find gifts that convey that appreciation without defaulting to another mug. I’ve done quite a bit of research and I believe these are gifts teachers actually want to receive this year.
1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21 | 22 | 23 | 24
I designed this gift guide to allow items to stand alone OR be gifted together! If your class is doing a group gift, pick a few items and present in a basket! Or, gift any one of these items to make your teacher’s Holiday season a little extra special.
1: Classroom Supplies
Classroom supplies are a no brainer and I feel like these dry erase markers run out of ink so quickly!
2: Peel & Stick Wallpaper
Teachers love to customize their spaces, but often have to be careful to not damage the foundation of the classroom. My peel & stick wallpaper is perfect for making spaces feel more homey, but is also easy to remove if need me!
3: Laminator Machine
This laminator looks great and is under $40! Definitely a handy classroom tool.
4: Tide To-Go Stain Remover
Tide To-Go is such a life saver, especially if the teacher you’re shopping for is teaching younger kids (though older kids stain things too!) they’ll definitely appreciate this.
5: Personal Fan
They had these fans on set of the QVC+ Wrapping Competition, and they work great! If your teacher works in a building with no AC, or is monitoring recess in the hot sun, these for sure come in handy!
6: Oversized Scarf
In the same respect, but in winter months, a cozy scarf to bundle up with is always a must.
7: Mug Warmer
I know teachers tend to have very long mornings, and no shortage of mugs, so I thought, what’s better than a mug? A mug warmer! This portable hot plate is the perfect classroom companion and can warm up your coffee that may have gotten cold.
8: Cozy Slippers
These slippers look SO cozy, and Aerie always dominates in the comfy department. I love the design of these, but they have a bunch to choose from!
9: Cable Knit Quarter Zip
If you’re close enough to the teacher you’re shopping for to know what size top she wears, this quarter zip is a must this Winter. I love it because it’s just as comfy as a hoodie, but the cable knit design really elevates it. Pair it with some booties and trousers it’s the perfect lazy day work outfit!
10: Keychain
This keychain popped up in my browsing as it’s currently on major sale, so I figured why not! Everyone’s keys tend to get very weathered very quickly, so a refresh is always nice.
11: Anthropologie Socks
Need I say more? Cozy socks, especially headed into Winter, are always appreciated.
12: Outlet Concealing Power Strip
This power strip is one of my favorite Amazon finds! It makes it super easy to organize cords at your desk!
13: Leak Proof Brumate
This is the water bottle I have right now and I loooove it! The straw has a leak proof mechanism and my drinks always stay cold!
14: Live Plant
After chatting with some teachers, plants sound like a welcome addition to many classrooms or homes! Obviously, make sure you know who you’re shopping for. If the teacher in your life is more of a faux plant person, I have a bunch of favorites linked here in my home office tour.
15: Blue Light Glasses
Blue light glasses genuinely make such a difference and this brand has a lot of cool frame options!
16: Keychain Lanyard
This FP Movement lanyard is a great find! Super affordable and cute!
17: Plaid Throw Blanket
This is from my line’s August drop and it’s on sale right now for $35! It’s so warm and comfortable!
18: Practical Makeup/Skincare Bag
This makeup bag cinches in and out to allow you to see all of your products when getting ready without making a mess. The inside is lined to be waterproof, so it doesn’t necessarily have to be for only makeup. If the teacher in your life brings any hair/skin care products with them, this would be perfect for that too!
19,20: Gift Cards
While I normally shy away from gift cards, teachers are the exception. Especially with how much they need to furnish their own work spaces with their money, Amazon gift cards can go a long way!
21: Trendy Tote
A catch all bag for various knick knacks that need to go back and forth between the home & classroom is always appreciated! I loved H&M’s tote selection, if the one I linked isn’t your vibe, check out some others!
22: Card Holder
Card holders are great, and I feel like between school IDs and other work specific cards, teachers would appreciate one just for work! Maybe throw a Starbucks gift card in there if you’re looking to elevate it!
23 + 24: Book Lover Gift Set
These gifts would be the perfect additions to a book lover gift basket! Maybe add in a gift card to Barnes & Noble or a local book store! And, I know lots of teachers have a personal classroom library! Getting a personalized stamp is such a thoughtful gift that they’ll use for years to come!
I hope I did teachers proud with this one! Be sure to check out my other holiday gift guides, and have a Happy Holiday ❤️
